describe one way a persons body would be affected if cells stopped going through cytokinesis. (1 pt)
Cytokinesis is the final step of cell - division, where the cytoplasm divides to form two daughter cells. If it stops, a single cell would end up with multiple nuclei (polyploidy). This disrupts normal cell function and can lead to cell death or abnormal growth. For example, in wound - healing, new cells are needed to replace damaged ones. Without cytokinesis, the repair process would be severely impaired as cells would not be able to multiply properly to cover the wound.

The body's ability to repair damaged tissues, like in wound - healing, would be severely impaired as cells would not be able to properly divide and multiply due to the lack of cytokinesis, resulting in abnormal cell growth or cell death.
